On Saturday, four of our lovely PETA Action Team members asked passers-by outside Fortnum & Mason to sign a huge Valentine’s Day card that read, “Make Valentine’s Day Happy for the Birds Too!” on the front and “Dear Fortnum & Mason, please have a heart and drop foie gras” on the inside.

Dressed all in red, the PETA beauties convinced more than 100 members of the public – including Fortnum & Mason’s own customers – to sign the card with their own messages condemning their sale of foie gras.

Here are a couple of our favourite comments that people wrote in the card:

Foie gras? Foie gross – ditch the delicacy of despair.

I will love U 4 eva if U drop foie gras.

If you couldn’t make it on Saturday to sign the card, don’t worry! You can send Fortnum & Mason a message asking them to drop this “torture in a tin“.
